WASHINGTON, June 12 (Reuters) - Americans are divided over President Donald Trump 's decision to activate the military to respond to protests against his crackdown on migrants, with about half supportive of the move, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll that closed on Thursday.

On "No Kings Day," we'll be peacefully demonstrating against a wannabe king and his trampling of our constitutional rights. And as we protest, we build solidarity. From that solidarity, we feel less alone and build courage for the work ahead. pic.twitter.com/LmXAjdsDnK

Protests against immigration officers are spreading beyond Los Angeles. Trump’s immigrant crackdown now includes ICE workplace quotas. Republicans are increasingly split over the deficit impact of Trump’s bill.

Nationwide protests against President Donald Trump coincided with his 79th birthday and a major military parade in Washington, D.C.

The protest comes before leaders vote on whether or not to pass a budget that is expected to lock new undocumented immigrants out of Medi-Cal.

President Trump has lumped together violent and peaceful protesters when speaking about the demonstrations in Los Angeles. David Sanger, a White House correspondent for The New York Times, explains.

An appeals court allowed Trump to keep the National Guard in L.A. The Trump administration denied involvement in Israel’s strikes on Iran. Kilmar Abrego García pleaded not guilty to human smuggling. A Smithsonian director resigned following Trump’s attempt to fire her.

Protesters plan to gather in Washington, D.C., and cities nationwide this weekend in response to a military parade celebrating the US Army's 250th anniversary.
